The red crosses indicate the ones I don't have (and don't plan to buy). I'm going to give my copy of "Chronicles" to a friend since the remastered live albums don't omit one track like the previous versions (those missing tracks were released on "Chronicles").
 
Each is a different approach to bass:

Clatter - Monarch(Amy & Joe ROCK!)
Crack the Sky - Crack the Sky(CD replaces scratched LP)
Aron Burton - Past, Present, & Future(blues bass)
Seth Horan - Notwithstanding(lead bass in a pop setting)
Carbonne-Di Piazza-Manring - Carbonne-Di Piazza-Manring(3 basses at once)

Yeah, bass-centered 4 sure.
 
lots of MELVINS:

-houdini
-houdini live 2006
-stoner witch
-stag
-bullhead

i've been getting into these guys ALOT recently. they rock. HARD. to anyone who likes heavy music and hasn't listened to MELVINS yet, try houdini or stoner witch first.

enjoy!


to Knavery: of the early progressive stuff, Genesis is my favorite. "foxtrot" is one of my faves, but if you haven't tried "selling england by the pound" yet, pick that one up next! :)

Point Juncture, WA--Mama Auto Boss
Gomez--In Our Gun
Seu Jorge--The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions (i HIGHLY recomend this on if you liked the movie or are just a david bowie fan)
Ravi Shankar--Jazz Mine
Nikhil Banerjee--Immortal Sitar of
Prasanna--Electric Ganesha Land
Jurassic 5--Quality Control

Picked these up on boxing day for 25% off:

Mastodon - Blood Mountain - Quickly becoming one of my favorite albums. It's in extra heavy rotation

These Arms Are Snakes - Easter - I bought for the the song "horse girl" but I really dig the rest of the album too although it's very different from what I though it would be. Lot's of nice bass lines and riffs and an interesting use of effects.

Electro Quarterstaff - Gretzky - Listened to it based on the funny song names - "The right to arm bears", and "Something's awry in the Hetfield of Dreams". Instrumental weirdo tech-metal with three guitarists with octave pedals instead of a bass player. I didn't realize there wasn't a bass involved until I read the liner notes.
